He did want to form an alliance with the Yanxia Group, but he wasn’t about to sell his granddaughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Summer, what is he up to? Does he want to enjoy the best of both worlds, courting Yongxuan while also showing interest in Weibao!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought Summer was a good man worthy of a lifetime commitment, but it turns out he’s someone who loves the dish in his hand while eyeing the pot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Chuyan hugged Xia Jinsong’s arm, \"Grandpa, the elder sister is lying. She and Mr. Summer aren’t even dating. If you don’t believe me, ask Summer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Jinsong frowned, \"Are you telling the truth?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Absolutely!

If he were just an assistant, would he dare to meddle in Summer’s affairs?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh grandpa, that’s not important.
